Apart from payroll and job scope itself, the factor that substantially influences how employees feel about their job is the work environment.

The word 'Work environment' typically covers everything that forms part of employees' involvement with the work itself, such as the relationship with colleagues and seniors, organizational culture, room for personal development, work-life balance, ownership of the job and more.

A positive work environment makes employees feel good about coming to work, and this provides the motivation to sustain them throughout the day. Researches show that maintaining 'Positivity' in work environment certainly leads to 'productivity' for the organization and 'satisfaction' for employees as well as employers.
